SAYINGS AND DOINGs OF THE VIRGINIA PARNRRs =
The Woodlawn Farmers Club met at the resi-
dence OF L N. Gibbs on the 26th of November.
Presf lent Pierson In the chair W. Dillingham;
secretary. When the minutes OF the last meeting
were read A. W. Harrison stated that the secretary
failed to catch the full meaning OF his remarks
about the proper size Of farm he said he thought
he knew as much about the subject as any one
present, and that was just nothing at aU II de.
pended on so many varying circumstances that no
number OF acres could be fixed upon but he was
decidedly In favor OF large farm II an adequate
statement In regard 70 tile drains with collars as
II read, might be attributed to him, whereas he
thought II should be saddled on the secretary; so
That Iunct0nary, believing 1t to be true Is ready TO
father IT. Charles Gibbs also Thought his views
were not reported quite broad enough as to acres
so ne u given the benef1t OF the doubt
The circular about six culture laid over ,,cr
last meeting, was referred to, but as none OF the
members seemed to think they knew much about

Bancroft uses q typewriter and stenographer.
but he thinks $50 words good days work, and
James g. Blaine thought he was doing well when
ne accomplished 1.5O0 words OF Q morning One
of the fastest writer's among the public men OF to-
day Is Admiral Porter, whose brain works like the
wheel OF q dynamo throwing on sparks at every
turn, ana whose pencil rushes across the paper at
almost telegraphtc speed; Admiral Porter wrote
months, and during this time his average was at
least a. 600 words month, or nearly $500 words
q day, including Sundays The book Is as big as q
dictionary and 1t contains nom 100000 to 5000
write at all, and his average during his working
period ran as high as 5000 words day. Admiral
Porter Is fond OF writing. He never uses anything
now but lead pencil and he says he cannot think
well without he has his pencil In his hand. He
had a slight attack OF pen paralysis once, and his
hant refuses to act whenever his finger touches
the steel Of the pen: he began his novel writing
tor amusement, and he wrote "Anln Dare" with
out any idea that 1t would be published, much less
dramatized. He stands up while writing, and,
when he becomes interested, he works right along
for hours at a stretch. George Bancroft works
only in the morning. Blaine did his best work be-
fore noon, and Logan worked both morning and
evening.
